Central pattern generator for swimming in Melibe.
The nudibranch mollusc Melibe leonina swims by bending from side to side. We have identified a network of neurons that appears to constitute the central pattern generator (CPG) for this locomotor behavior, one of only a few such networks to be described in cellular detail. The network consists of two pairs of interneurons, termed 'swim interneuron 1' (sint1) and 'swim interneuron 2' (sint2), ar...
متن کاملToward robust phase-locking in Melibe swim central pattern generator models.
Small groups of interneurons, abbreviated by CPG for central pattern generators, are arranged into neural networks to generate a variety of core bursting rhythms with specific phase-locked states, on distinct time scales, which govern vital motor behaviors in invertebrates such as chewing and swimming. These movements in lower level animals mimic motions of organs in higher animals due to evolu...
متن کاملOptical Recording of the Tritonia Swimming Central Pattern Generator
We recorded action potential activity from the isolated brain of the nudibranch seaslug Tritonia diomedea during fictive swimming. Candidate central pattern generator (CPG) interneurons were identified by their bursting patterns and positions in the brain. Previously identifed populations of interneurons were imaged, including the dorsal swim interneurons (DSI), C2, and ventral swim interneuron...
متن کاملThe action of acetylcholine on the locomotor central pattern generator for swimming in Xenopus embryos.
Rhythmic locomotion in Xenopus laevis embryos is controlled by a central pattern generator in the spinal cord. This was demonstrated in experiments in which movements were blocked by tubocurarine or o--bungarotoxin (Kahn and Roberts, 1982a; Boothby and Roberts, 1988) and activity was recorded either extracellularly with suction electrodes on the ventral roots or intracellularly with microelectr...
متن کاملCentral pattern generator for escape swimming in the notaspid sea slug Pleurobranchaea californica.
Escape swimming in the notaspid opisthobranch Pleurobranchaea is an episode of alternating dorsal and ventral body flexions that overrides all other behaviors. We have explored the structure of the central pattern generator (CPG) in the cerebropleural ganglion as part of a study of neural network interactions underlying decision making in normal behavior. The CPG comprises at least eight bilate...
